SaCSA Leaders to Explore the Workforce Behind the Future of Retail at Retail Show Australia 2026

Retail technology is moving quickly, and the workforce needs to evolve with it.


At Retail Show Australia 2026, Natalie Turmine, CEO of SaCSA, and Nicole Venter, Stakeholder Engagement Manager – Retail, will present:


Building the Workforce Behind the Future of Retail


Working across Australia’s retail skills and workforce system, SaCSA brings a practical view of how retail roles are changing, where capability gaps are emerging, and what businesses need to prepare for as technology becomes more deeply embedded in day-to-day operations.


The discussion will look beyond technology investment itself. For retailers, the value of new systems depends on whether teams have the right skills, structures and operating capability to use them effectively.


As AI, automation and digital tools continue to reshape retail, workforce planning is becoming an increasingly important part of transformation.

Join Retail Show Australia 2026 to hear how retailers can align technology investment with the people and capabilities needed to make change work in practice.
